The companies say CNG stations will open in Weatherford, Waynoka, Lindsay, Arkoma and Wilburton between Jan. 12 and Jan. 18. Another station will open in El Reno later this winter.

All but the Wilburton station will be located at Chesapeake field offices. The stations will serve Chesapeake's fleet vehicles that use CNG as well as the public. Stillwater-based OnCue Express will own and operate the stations.

Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake is one of the leading natural gas producers in the U.S.
